    It was simply, the best gnocchi I've ever had. You will not regret this choice.

    Second year we've come here for our team's holiday lunch. Everything, as always, was fantastic. Love sitting at the long table extending from the kitchen. A great place to gather with friends and enjoy a meal.

    I think one of the dishes was oversalted, which was a shame. One of the duck entrees had a cut of duck that was mostly tendon or cartilage, which my friend did not appreciate for a $28 entree. The service was adequate and less than attentive, although I understand that is a fine balance to strike. The server returned two minutes after everyone received their entrees, so we hadn’t discovered the cartilage/tendon issue yet. Then the server returned 20 minutes to clear our plates and ask if we wanted dessert. For the quantity and quality, there are better restaurants in Seattle that offer similar menus at a lower price with better service.

    I booked this reservation for my son and his fiancé on her birthday. We had all eaten here before and loved it. The tasting menu is delicious and the ambience here is lovely.

    We've been a few times, but the last couple we've been underwhelmed with the food. We found a couple of the dishes bland and under-salted, or just ill-conceived. The cocktails were lovely, and we love the space, but for the price we're likely to just go elsewhere.

    Sadly, the meal we paid for was not worth the hype. The wine was delicious but the food felt underwhelming and even clumsy at times. Cold flavorless fat (pork terrine), poor plating, and tough gristle-laden porchetta were the standouts for us. Beyond that, our 9p reservation must've pushed the staff to the end of their night, possibly far later than they wanted to be there. Understandably, I would not be energized at the end of my night either but please don't offer reservations past 8p or let us know the tasting menu is not available. Rushed courses, tired responses, and minimal conversation does not justify a $100+ per guest price tag.
